A BOOK ABOUT BEES. 



FOR YOUNG READERS. 



CHAPTER I. 



HABITS OF OBSERVATION. 



If we travel through England we find most varied 

 scenery ; some of it beautiful with mountains, valleys, 

 woods, and water ; and some of it flat, bare, and wild. 

 But, whatever the character of the country, we may 

 always find in the works of Nature much that is 

 indeed very beautiful and wonderful, and much to 

 make us full of good thoughts. We learn of the great 

 Creator by all that we see of His works and creatures. 



' There is a Book, who runs may read, 



Which heavenly truth imparts, 



And all the love its scholars need, ' 



Pure eyes and Christian hearts. 



' The works of God above, below, 

 Within us and around. 

 Are pages in that Book, to show 

 How God Himself is found. 



'Thou, who.hast given me eyes to see 

 And love this sight so fair. 

 Give me a heart to find out Thee, 

 And read Thee everywhere.'
